Snow // Willas Tyrell // Oberyn Martell

6. Shit show

'Rough night imp?' Sandor questioned fixing his boots.

'If I get through this without scratching one end or the other it will be a miracle.' Tyrion told him drunkenly, his head was spinning, he hated the north.

'Didn't pick you for a hunter.'

'I am the greatest in the land my spear never misses.' he said drunkenly, his words slurred.

'It's not hunting if you pay for it.' Sandor remarked getting up as Tyrion closed his eyes again leaning against the stables but the crunch of footsteps in the snow caught their attention.

'I don't think Lord Tyrion is the athletic type.' Josie added coming in from the wood.

'What are you doing out there?" Tyrion questioned.

'What's the capitol like?" Josie questioned.

'Shit show.' Sandor told her.

'He's not wrong. Why? Planning a visit?' Tyrion questioned sitting up. 'I could give you the royal tour,' he mused.

'No thank you.' Josie told him.

'She's the Snow.' Tyrion told sandor.

'You the Imp and this fine giant must be a Clegane.' Josie remarked.

'Sandor Clegane, my lady.' He said standing up.

'No lady just a Snow.' Josie confirmed walking off.

'I like her better than you already.' Sandor grumbled heading off as well.

'If you had a cunt you and I would get along great.' Tyrion teased.

'Doubtful, the Snow has a cunt and she doesn't seem to fond of you.' Sandor reminded him.

'Well...' Tyrion didn't have an answer for that. Sandor raised a brow waiting for a snarky response, he didn't get one. 'I'm drunk and tired. Go away.' Tyrion said closing his eyes again.

'Josie?' Ned turned around to see her already coming in from the stables. 'where you already out this morning?'

'I needed to clear my head, the castle is so loud with all the royals.' Josie told him.

'Lyanna used to do that.' Ned said quietly. He saw more and more of his sister in Josie every day.

'What?' Josie questioned.

'Nothing,' Ned murmured.

'I actually had a questioned for you, Father.' Josie informed him.

'I have something I wanted to tell you too. Jojo I want you to come to-'

'I want to go to high garden. And dorne. And the reach. And-'

'Josie-' Ned began as he pulled her aside away from Catelyn's view.

'Father I've been at winterfell my whole life. I want to explore.' Josie begged

'No I want you at the capitol with us.' Ned told her.

'No.' Josie said stubbornly. 'I want-'

'Who is in charge here?' Ned teased

'Me obviously. I thought that was already established.' Josie teased back.

'It's not safe for a young lady-'

'I have been training with robb and theon since I could hold a blade.' Josie reminded him. 'Please father please. I want to see the world!'

'You have never been to the capitol before.' Ned reminded her

'Boring!' Josie declared. 'Sandor said it is a shit show and Lord Tyrion well he wasn't helpful. Father I want to see the castles of Dornes the water gardens are said to be beautiful and High garden is said to have the most beautiful gardens every flower you can imagine. Flower crown-'

'What did you say?'

"Flower crown or water garden?"

'Flower crown...'

Rhaegar Targaryen was a married man yet he couldn't stop staring at lyanna and how lyanna looked back at him. For Rhaegar was married and lyanna would be wed to Robert Baratheon soon enough.

But as the tournament went on prince Rhaegar won time and time again. He was the victor and lyanna jumped up happily cheering for the champion. Prince Rhaegar, the heir to the Iron Throne, was the victor. Rhaegar was given a flower crown to give to the most beautiful woman at the competition. Everyone saw elia, rhaegars wife start to rise up but rhaegar was coming right towards Lyanna and Ned. He rode past his wife, Princess Elia Martell, and placed a crown of winter roses, the crown of the Queen of Love and Beauty, on Lyanna's lap. This action outraged many because not only was Rhaegar married, but Lyanna was already betrothed to another man. Ned held his breath as he handed the flower crown to lyanna. Neds eyes went wide and the crowd let out a gasp. Lyanna took the flower crown placing it on her head gently, her cheeks were as red as the rose in her hand.

'Thank you' she murmured he bowed before her. Lyanna squealed with delight.

~~

'Flower crowns, I know its silly but that's in one of the books I read that they wear flower crowns.' Josie told him as he looked back to her. 'Father?'

'I don't want you in high garden or Dornes or anywhere not with me.' Ned said, where he could protect her, keep her safe like he promised Lyanna. 'Jojo come on now i need someone looking out for the girls.'

'Their septa can do that. Please father!' She hugged him tight. Her big dark eyes staring up at him. He couldn't say no to her, she had the same fire as Lyanna. She would find a way to get what she wanted. He let out a sigh running his hand through her black hair, black as night and void of sun yet she shone brightly.

'You will come with us to the capitol... and once the we are settled then if you still wish you may travel onwards.' Ned agreed.

'Thank you thank you thank you!' Josie declared hugging him tight.
